francis murphy and ralph blakelock bnt which are not really their works have been placed upon the market this genius in counterfeit brush work who ls alleged to have perpetrated these frauds is not a native of america but is said to be an englishman and came from one of the western states however that may be he went to new york unheralded and poor but in a short time he became acquainted with a pros perous art dealer who enjoyed the confi dence and the patronage of some of the best collectors of this city old painting is improved a leading art collector owned a very in teresting picture painted by a h wyant the background was superb the middle ground was satisfactory but the fore ground was not complete the painting wns however very salable as are air wyant's and it passed out of the hands of the collector who subsequently saw the same picture exhibited he was amazed at seeing the foreground finished and the picture so improved that its value was en hanced a hundred per cent the successful finishing of this wyant was perhaps one of the acts that brought the art dealer and the remarkable copyist into a closer relationship at any rate some paintings by american masters ap peared on the market in states consider ably improved since their authors had last placed their brushes to them the pictures jumped in value it was about this time that the poor artist who had been aided by his fellow craftsmen seemed to have plenty of mouey to speud an investigation was started and it was soon discovered that at least fifteen paint ings purporting to be the work of hornet martin were spurious several of these were traced to a dealer who had dealings with the suspected artist and he was forced to admit the fraud and make resti tution the investigators however have decided to pursue their iuquiry further be fore making a formal public denunciation of the fraud maniac slayer is saved by police from lynching baker is killed in shop by mad hostler who uses butcher knife raves as mob threatens herbert o'brien is perhaps fatally shot in quarrel arrest is made two quarrels started over trivial mat ters resulted in the murder of one man and the perhapÃŸ fatal

entered the bake shop flak acted strangely and talked ineohereutly but little attention was paid to him he started a quarrel with grgzgswlgskl the latter went about his work when sud denly flak grabbed a large butcher knife that was lying near and making a rush at grgzgswigski plunged the knife into his heart before the latter could defend him self grgzgswigski fell dead at the mur 1

the bakery a crowd of men were standing near the shop szustakowski's account of the cold blooded murder fired them instantly they rushed upon fiak with cries of lvncn him lynch him fiak was being roughly handled by the crowd which by this time had grown considerably when lieutenant joseph smith and three detectives from the south Chicago station rushed up and ar rested fiak he was taken to the south Chicago station . while the mob threatened and later at the station fiak continued to talk in a rambling fashion and to rave and nothing . could be learned from him he apparently is suffering from some form of dementia he made no effort to resist arrest think he may be shamming the police think that perhaps there may have been a deeper motive behind fink's act and are trying to learn whether or not he had any grievance against the man he killed grgzgswigski was a single man flak had done odd jobs about the bakery and had known his victim for some time the other quarrel which

other witnesses deny , his Chicago happiest city in the world to hue in declares elinor glyn a 0 because it grants v v n y â– divorces so readily author of three weeks de cides basis of happiness lies in ease of separation mourns knightly days divorce appears to be the institution that makes you americans the happiest people on earth more divorces are granted here than in any other country three times as many divorces are granted in Chicago as in any other city therefore i should imagine that Chicago is the hap piest city in the world this is the astonishing conclusion at which mrs elinor glyn the far-famed english woman who wrote three weeks and set all christendom afire with it has arrived after a twenty-four hour rtay here english people don't understand divorce so thoroughly as you do continued the unique mrs glyn complacently we have very few divorced men and women be cause it is not so easy to get a divorce in our country perhaps it would be better for us if we had more liberal laws in this respect divorce a happy institution you think then she was asked that divorce makes for happiness certainly replied mrs glyn at what other conclusion could one arrive if a certain class of people are happier than others there must be some reason for it what else ls there to make you americans happier than the english for instance when a man and a woman are un happily mated and go on living together year after year they must continue to go on being unhappy in america you simply say i don't like him or i don't like her i prefer mary or helen or tom or harry and you pro ceed to make the new arrangement you have then thrown off unhappluess for happiness traded something you don't want for something you do want consider the case of your mrs alfred vanderbilt she wasn't living happily with her husband nud she ceased to make herself unhappy there were the goulds tied by conventionalities and an unfeeling uiiilisci-iininatiug law to mates that were ill-fitted to them there can't be any question of their having been badly mated else they would have uo desire to get away from each other when a man and a woman truly love they don't allow trifles to come between them but then and the author sighed a discouraged little sigh we don't love as they used to love in the days wheu knighthood was in flower and why not why not because we are in too great a hurry you have to be quiet to have an emotion business has dwarfed love civilization has robbed itself of romance commercialism has rendered the race as a whole unlit to experience a really grand passion then three weeks was a dream of the old days xot necessarily such a passion might exist to-day if you could and the right man and the right woman and introduce them to each other we must sepa rate the individual

inquiries for securities or valua bles of any kind had been made by the london anthorlties of the new york post office he was inclined to regard the re port of missing man bags as simply a clerical error and to scout the idea that they contained half a million bag does not reach st louis according to the london cablegram one of these bags arrived here on march 26 on the white star line steamer majestic it was bound for st louis and was handed over to the postofflce clerks on the mail boat the mall when the liner stopped at upper quarantine this bag according to the usual rule iwould not have been brought to the new york office but would have been taken with other western mail to the pennsylvania depot and sent on to its destination this particular bag never reached st louis it ls said the other is reported to have arrived here three days later on march 29 on the american liner philadelphia and to have been destined for brooklyn this bag also is said to have been sent with others on board the mail boat and to have been re ceipted for by the officials of the new york postofflce on that boat traced to boat and wagons this bag would in the usual order have passed through the new york postofljee and then have gone to brooklyn but lt is said never to have reached the new york office the search for this bag therefore narrows dowu to the mailboat and to the wagons that

francis murphy and ralph blakelock bnt which are not really their works have been placed upon the market this genius in counterfeit brush work who ls alleged to have perpetrated these frauds is not a native of america but is said to be an englishman and came from one of the western states however that may be he went to new york unheralded and poor but in a short time he became acquainted with a pros perous art dealer who enjoyed the confi dence and the patronage of some of the best collectors of this city old painting is improved a leading art collector owned a very in teresting picture painted by a h wyant the background was superb the middle ground was satisfactory but the fore ground was not complete the painting wns however very salable as are air wyant's and it passed out of the hands of the collector who subsequently saw the same picture exhibited he was amazed at seeing the foreground finished and the picture so improved that its value was en hanced a hundred per cent the successful finishing of this wyant was perhaps one of the acts that brought the art dealer and the remarkable copyist into a closer relationship at any rate some paintings by american masters ap peared on the market in states consider ably improved since their authors had last placed their brushes to them the pictures jumped in value it was about this time that the poor artist who had been aided by his fellow craftsmen seemed to have plenty of mouey to speud an investigation was started and it was soon discovered that at least fifteen paint ings purporting to be the work of hornet martin were spurious several of these were traced to a dealer who had dealings with the suspected artist and he was forced to admit the fraud and make resti tution the investigators however have decided to pursue their iuquiry further be fore making a formal public denunciation of the fraud maniac slayer is saved by police from lynching baker is killed in shop by mad hostler who uses butcher

in ease of separation mourns knightly days divorce appears to be the institution that makes you americans the happiest people on earth more divorces are granted here than in any other country three times as many divorces are granted in Chicago as in any other city therefore i should imagine that Chicago is the hap piest city in the world this is the astonishing conclusion at which mrs elinor glyn the far-famed english woman who wrote three weeks and set all christendom afire with it has arrived after a twenty-four hour rtay here english people don't understand divorce so thoroughly as you do continued the unique mrs glyn complacently we have very few divorced men and women be cause it is not so easy to get a divorce in our country perhaps it would be better for us if we had more liberal laws in this respect divorce a happy institution you think then she was asked that divorce makes for happiness certainly replied mrs glyn at what other conclusion could one arrive if a certain class of people are happier than others there must be some reason for it what else ls there to make you americans happier than the english for instance when a man and a woman are un happily mated and go on living together year after year they must continue to go on being unhappy in america you simply say i don't like him or i don't like her i prefer mary or helen or tom or harry and you pro ceed to make the new arrangement you have then thrown off unhappluess for happiness traded something you don't want for something you do want consider the case of your mrs alfred vanderbilt she wasn't living happily with her husband nud she ceased to make herself unhappy there were the goulds tied by conventionalities and an unfeeling uiiilisci-iininatiug law to mates that were ill-fitted to them there can't be any question of their having been badly mated else they would have uo desire to get away from each other when a man and a woman truly love they don't allow trifles to come between them but then and the author sighed a discouraged little sigh we don't love as they used to love in the days wheu knighthood was in flower and why not why not because we are in too great a hurry you have to be quiet to have an emotion business has dwarfed love civilization has robbed itself of romance commercialism has rendered the race as a whole unlit to experience a really grand passion then three weeks was a dream of the old days xot necessarily such a passion might exist to-day if you could and the right man and the right woman and introduce them to each other we must sepa rate the individual

error and to scout the idea that they contained half a million bag does not reach st louis according to the london cablegram one of these bags arrived here on march 26 on the white star line steamer majestic it was bound for st louis and was handed over to the postofflce clerks on the mail boat the mall when the liner stopped at upper quarantine this bag according to the usual rule iwould not
